Brown decided to platoon his players, starting eleven men on offense and eleven different men on defense. The first game, a 37-14 romp over Ed- mund Burke, gave the Eagle fans an idea of what was to come. The first touchdown in Stratford's history came on tailback Bruce Bishopls 62 yard scoring jaunt on the third play from scrimmage.
